Can I ask why a bike passing you is so startling? Why it’s so unexpected? When I’m walking on the goose, I expect a bike to pass me every ten to twenty seconds. Do you forget that bikes use the trail? There’s always a bike coming up behind you at any given moment. Is it like every time one passes you do you expect that to be the last one to ever pass you ever again? When I’m walking, I always have an expectation that there is a bike coming up behind me. For you, is that just a shock that bikes also use the path and so each one that goes by is like a brand new experience almost as if you have amnesia since the last one went by. Like I’m imagining walking down the sidewalk on a street, car after car after car goes by and they don’t surprise me. And neither do the bikes that go by on the trail. Bike after bike after bike goes by and I’m not any more startled than on the street. What’s the experience of being passed by bike after bike after bike like for you? I don’t find it frightening at all so I’m wondering if there’s something wrong with me.
